you know how when you were a kid and your ma made meatloaf with bread or crackers to stretch it out? well this post is kind of like a meatloaf. it started the other day with the close-ups of these pages. and now i'm stretching that right out into today.
i'm clever like that. post stretching. i'm a post stretcher.
as i mentioned in the previous post, pam started the page on right above and i finished it. that was fun and i want to do it again.
these are the very last pages in this visual journal. i decided they would all be buttered with creamy layers of pink, orange, pink, pink, and some yellow. i wanted to take advantage of all the leftover paint in the lasagna pan.
see those chalky grey circles up above? they make me ecstatic. when i was painting them i think i was thinking of donuts. raspberry filled yeasty donuts with a thick layer of lavender icing on top. or.
maybe i just thought of that a second ago.
i sort of wish everything didn't remind me of food.
in my next life i'm going to come back as a naturally thin vegan person who does not think of orange marmalade bisquits while she smears orange paint on her pages.
the thought of watermelon jelly beans with an orange sherbert chaser will never cross my mind.
ever. not even once.
guess what? i found a super cool corner-rounding action and it's FREE. FREE!!!
you want it? okay.
go HERE to the coffeeshop and get it.
isn't it nice to have such insanely helpful people floating around in the blogosphere? not me. i mean the corner rounding action maker.
You always make me smile :-))
I’m also going to come back a thin, healthy vegan. I’m also going to be an exercise freak! :-))
Your painting is always so inspiring!!
These colors are so incredibly yummy!!
So great to know I am not alone in my food obsessed thoughts
Thanks for sharing – delicious!!
Oh the colors make me swoon. Juicy, tasty, mouth wateringly lovely. Marmalade, watermelon, donuts with lavender frosting, yum! Sherbet and macaroons. The crunch little french kind. Oh, I must go to bed before I decide to eat.
Vegans can’t have orange marmalade biscuit? Kinda makes ya think twice about coming back… Can they have those bacon maple donut things?
Juicy, juicy, yummy colors–no wonder we think of food!! Say Hey!! to KateinCleveland because she is cracking me UP!!
Thanks for the corner rounder. Lovin it that you are a post stretcher! ;o))
Yum, yum, yum. Your colours are yummy so why not think about food? It’s just lik following the bouncing ball in a way….
My mom stretched out Jello pudding with soda crackers… sounds a little odd but they don’t add flavour and make the pudding crunchy – too much fun when you’re four…
In my next life I’d come back as a naturally thin vegan too but, then my pink leather party pants with the orange embroidered FOXY across the arse would be too big! So, pass the donuts!
I just LERRRRRRV those colors! They make me feel all happy and shiny. I think I need a scone w/clotted cream now.
Sweet Dreams!
LOVE. LOVE. BIG COLOR CRUSH LOVE happening over here. Why is it when I use these colors I totally bomb out?…but I love watching you use em…I keep at it tho…push myself to jump out over that awesome color concoction and just go for it…Your pages rock Mary Ann!!!! They always do…:)
oh no – Now I must go on and adventure to find some raspberry jelly filled donuts. So glad that I am not alone my thoughts of food.
In our next lives, lets be neighboring, naturally thin, vegans. In the meantime, pass the martini pitcher and the butter.
Jellybeans (why limit ourselves to just watermelon flavour?) and orange sherbet, raspberry filled donuts with lavender icing? Good God, woman, how am I supposed to get any work done when I suddenly find myself so darned hungry?!?! I am also now craving pink and orange neon paint with a battleship grey chaser. Yum! (not to eat, of course, but you knew that, right?)
this is blog-tastic!
rock on my friend…
I adore these colors! (and you too, of course!) so sun-shiny…and yummy as you point out.
